just write: simply go.
Considering my blog’s name, I don’t think it’s a surprise to anyone that I love writing. Books, papers, stories, poems…I love it all. It’s my favorite thing to do.
I haven’t shared too much creative writing on my blog for the simple reason that I’m nervous. What if no one likes it? What if it’s the one blog post that never gets any comments? What if it gets negative comments? What if?
But in the spirit of 2015 and all I want this year to be, I’m trying my best to say, “So what?” to all of those questions that pop into my head.
So here we go.
I love to write.
I love to write poems.
And I’m going to start sharing them on here.
And I really, really hope you like them.
she had magic behind her eyelids,
freedom running through her veins.
and those who said they knew her,
barely knew her name.
for she could never settle
in one place for all that long,
she’d spend a few nights, call it home,
and in the morning she’d be gone.
for she knew life’s great secret,
that we all wish to know.
she knew that if she wanted to see it all,
then she must simply go.
Do you write creatively? What’s your favorite thing to write?

I do. I started writing poems when I was in sixth grade. Modesty aside, in the early 2000s, my parents secretly sent one of my poems I wrote for English class to a site, a gallery of poems and poetry. Mine was selected as the Editor's Choice and was featured in the International Library of Poetry. It was by far my greatest achievement of all time. Just thought I'd share for inspiration. 🙂
That was lovely. It is really scary putting writing out there, because what you write is essentially what you're thinking. For me, I don't write poetry or anything. But I do know that whenever you're about to post something, just post before you think about what you're doing. If people don't like it, who cares? It's not their corner of the internet. It's yours.

Beautiful, lady! Thank you so much for sharing!!!!
I love your poetry! I'm awful at poetry so I admire people can write it. I do mainly fiction writing. Specifically fantasy and supernatural!
I LOVE this!! So glad you shared. I've started writing some poetry aimed for songwriting and it has been so freeing to explore a new writing style! Love seeing others explore their creativity! You go girl!
Love love LOVE your poetry. I'll hope you'll publish them here more often.
I love it!! I think it's awesome you shared it. You'd think after you publish a book you'd be over the fear of putting it out there but I guess that's just a thing that probably only gets easier the more and more often you do it.
tis is simply beautiful! I have the same worries about writing on my blog , so far I have only posted one poem, but in future I am going to change all that

I literally have chills. Maybe because I felt like you wrote it about my "secret me," or about the "secret me" inside of everyone. 🙂 Poignant.
Your writing is amazing! I love it. You are so talented. Thanks so much for stopping by my blog! I love the jacket, too. 😀 Newest follower!
I love that! Really really good.
I'm not too poetic myself, I always say that, then I think maybe it's because I never let myself be. I'm trying to work that out a little in my writing journals.
This is my first time visiting your blog and I just gotta say that your poem is beautiful!
It's refreshing see something so emotionally raw in the blogging world.
Thank you for sharing your talent with all of us!
I look forward to reading more of your work.

Beautiful! I loved it, you need to share more with us!
Love this!!! So glad you decided to share! I wish I could write more creatively!
Eek! I'd love to write more creatively but am so afraid! Also, I feel like I wouldn't know how 🙁 Do you have prompts to help at all? THANK YOU for sharing, you are such an inspiration! xo
Loved this, friend, because it is awesome and because you were brave enough to share it;) I don't really write creatively, but I love pouring out my thoughts and feelings for a blog post, and never seem to run out of options to write about. Reading and writing seem to gee me the most pleasure out of life, as does connecting to others.
Love this my friend! Please don't ever stop writing 🙂
lovely poem! i haven't written creatively in awhile but i definitely love taking the time to write for my blog!
I love this so much!! You are such a gifted writer, Chelsea! I write creatively too 🙂 I've been writing poetry since I was in about 2nd grade…it is so neat to see that this is something you enjoy, too! I love it when poetry or other ways of writing are included in a blog post! Thanks for sharing 🙂
PS – here's a poem I blogged a little bit ago: http://www.justbeeblog.com/2014/10/road-chasing/

i love this poem you wrote! i feel like it describes me perfectly too 😀
OK so now you have to come to China and tell my honors 7th grade English students how awesome reading and writing is. haha.
I LOVE IT!!!!
That was beautiful and striking! I really loved it. I do love reading and writing, too. Mostly I write short fiction and I'm in the middle of a novel… I think. Lol. Keep on writing and reading! 🙂
I love this!! Share MORE MORE MORE! 🙂
Love this 🙂 I've always been a big writer but lately I just write my blog even though I have a Novel notebook and a novel in my head, I am definitely going to get it outta my head this year and onto paper, but like you, I'm nervous.
Simply beautiful!
